Shen Miaomiao shouted in her heart that this was outrageous.
If the previous Cat Leo looked like a piece of garbage at first glance, then Gu Sheng's new project relies on the defense.
After all, Cat Leo is a derivative work of Mario. Putting aside the quality of the game, at least you can tell at first glance what kind of game it is, what the basic gameplay is, and what the purpose of the game is.
But this new project!
Shen Miaomiao couldn't even imagine what kind of game this was through Gu Sheng's description!
The naughty child is crazy and seeking death, and the old father tries his best to stop him?
Where is the fun in this?
Shen Miaomiao couldn't understand and was even a little worried about Gu Sheng's mental condition.
but!
There is no doubt that such an inexplicable game has no sales highlights at all.
The track chosen by Gu Sheng was not popular, and coupled with this weird gameplay setting, it was difficult not to lose money.
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but feel happy.
Forget it, no matter what kind of game it is, the more outrageous it is, the better it is for her!
This time, we must make up for the rebates that Cat Leo did not earn!
Pay it back hard!
So, he nodded:
"Very good, I like this idea (although I don't understand it either),"
"Then Director Gu, let's get started with the project. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask, especially in terms of investment. The company will fully support it and we will definitely meet it!"
What a great boss!
Hearing this, Gu Sheng secretly raised his eyebrows.
It is not difficult to see from Xiao Nezha's expression that she has no understanding of this game at all, and she looks confused and confused.
but!
But little Nezha still chose to believe in himself, just like he believed in the teacher's answer in math class. No matter whether he understood it or not, he just nodded and said yes, yes, yes.
With a boss like this, what else can you ask for in life?
Gu Sheng secretly vowed in his heart that he must make the company look good, so that he would not be ashamed of his trust in Xiao Nezha!
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng nodded:
"Thank you boss for trusting me. Now that I've mentioned this, I do have a small request."
"It doesn't matter. If you say it, the company that can do it will definitely support it."
Shen Miaomiao nodded and signaled to Gu Sheng that it was okay.
Gu Sheng grinned, seeming a little embarrassed:
"That's right, because the scale of this project is much larger than that of Cat Leo, so I think we can appropriately expand the size of the team,"
"A complete game team, except for the producer, which is me,"
"You also need to be responsible for the main process of engine development, program operation and maintenance, and the main artist responsible for scene UI and character modeling. Because some subsequent works may involve commercial secrets, it is not suitable to outsource all projects."
In fact, he still missed one main strategy here.
The chief planner is usually responsible for gameplay planning, level design, plot logic structure, etc.
However, due to the existence of the system, the game he redeemed was almost a semi-finished product, including the core gameplay and plot design, so Gu Sheng also served as the chief planner, which was a disguised form of saving money for the company while also ensuring the originality of the game to the greatest extent. Original flavor.
After all, if Gu Sheng holds the dual positions of producer and chief planner, it means that the core structure of the game is entirely in his hands, and he is the true giver of the soul of the game.
After listening to Gu Sheng's suggestion, Shen Miaomiao nodded repeatedly.
Good! Great!
Our chief director has grown up and knows how to spend money on the company!
Immediately wave your hand!
"Director Gu's proposal is very good! Like this!"
Saying that, Shen Miaomiao turned to Chu Qingzhou:
"Secretary Chu, please immediately recruit according to the requirements of the Director of Care. We require people with sufficient experience and strong abilities. Salary is not a problem. The more expensive the better!"
To know!
According to the system regulations, as the investment executor, the manager's salary does not participate in the determination of the investment amount. However, except for the manager, any personnel investment will be regarded as investment!
In other words, the people under Gu Sheng who participate in game production are more expensive!
The amount of investment will be greater!
The harder it is to recover the principal!
The more rebates you get!
Of course, personnel hiring must follow certain market prices. You cannot hire a dog with an annual salary of one million, as that would be considered cheating.
Therefore, Shen Miaomiao ordered Chu Qingzhou to recruit as many talented people as possible in order to increase capital investment.
However, before Chu Qingzhou agreed, Gu Sheng interrupted:
"Uh... I mean... maybe we don't have to go to so much trouble?"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Miaomiao and Chu Qingzhou were both stunned.
"What do you mean?" Shen Miaomiao shrugged, not understanding why Gu Sheng said this.
Gu Sheng smiled and said:
"I mean, compared to recruiting so-called experienced industry elites who have changed jobs many times,"
"Why don't we cultivate a direct team that belongs to the company?"
Direct team?
The two people across the conference table looked at each other.
Chu Qingzhou asked: "Director Gu means to recruit new people?"
"right,"
Gu Sheng nodded:
"I would rather lead a new team than the so-called 'industry elites'."
Gu Sheng's consideration can be said to be very thoughtful.
What is this place?
parallel world.
To be more specific, it is a parallel world where game creativity is poor and game types are solidified.
Gaming is an art industry full of creativity.
And the so-called ‘elites’ in this world are just a group of mechanical laborers who cannot break free from the shackles of fixed thinking.
Seeing the success of "FireWire", they decided that shooting games can only place the crosshair in the middle of the screen, fix the blood volume at 100, and position the target to defuse bombs.
Seeing the success of "Ultra Speed", they decided that driving games can only be about racing, the selected vehicles must be cool, and various modifications must be in place to pursue the ultimate in performance.
Little did they know!
The shooting of firearms can also simulate the aiming of the machine, and breathing and recovering blood can also speed up the pace of the game. The goal of the game does not necessarily have to be staring at the bomb that has been defused 10,000 times.
Driving games do not necessarily have to be racing. The selected vehicle can also be a heavy truck. Those scenery that is ignored during racing can also allow players to experience the beauty of relaxation and pleasure.
There are many, many games that Gu Sheng will launch in the future.
He hopes that his game production team can open up their minds and try their best to understand the attributes of the ninth art of games, instead of always limiting their sights to "Does this game make money?" "Is this game mainstream?" "This game has
There is no market”.
Games are boring, after all, they are essentially composed of 0s and 1s, a string of tasteless codes.
At the same time, the game is also wonderful, because in the countless combinations of 0 and 1, there is the sunset scenery of the Alps, the majesty of Nordic mythology, the passion of becoming a hero to save the world, and the human thinking of clearing the fog to see the truth.
This is the game Gu Sheng loves.
"So I applied to the company to try out two of my friends, who, like me, still maintain a passion for creativity in the gaming industry."
